Remote Stare


The whole painting is separated into two parts. The left part is filled with warm color. In contrast, the right part is cold for the use blue and purple. Honestly speaking, the yellow figure is myself, I am staring the black building at my left which explained the title of this painting :Remote Stare. The second layer of meaning of the title is the huge eye in the sky. The eye is the attention of those who concerned about me in China. The blue triangles simblize the difficulties I'm facing in America, they look like pieces of knifes facing me and bloking me from moving forward. When I meet the difficulties, I'll ture my back and look at the black building, my home in China. My attention is focusing on the lamp at the left corner and the half-open door, both of which focus on the room inside. The small yellow figure is me when I was in China, surrounded by the warmth provided by my home. The green buildings connect the two worlds together.
